Orange's Patrick McKenna is in just his third professional season since graduating from Bryant University, but has now played at every level of the minor leagues.

An infielder and 27th-round draft choice of the Detroit Tigers in 2009, McKenna was signed by the San Diego Padres as a free agent. He was assigned to Triple-A Tucson (Ariz.) of the Pacific Coast League to help with injuries and spent two weeks there, batting .176 (3-for-27), before being sent down to Double-A San Antonio of the Texas League this week.

Last summer, McKenna split time between the Tigers' Gulf Coast League affiliate and Class A Lakeland of the advanced Class A Florida State League.
